Developer of Katamari Damacy Announces Wattam, A New Game for PS4

Looks… interesting.

The creator of the esoteric and quirky Japanese series, Katamari Damacy , has announced his brand new project- it’s called Wattam, it’s a PlayStation 4 exclusive, and as you would expect from him, it’s pretty damn wacky and eccentric.

“The idea for this game came from when Keita was playing with his two-year old son, and wondered about what if all toys lived, and connected by themselves? It would be such a fun world to explore and play with! The word “Wattam” itself is actually composed of the Tamil and Japanese words for “making a circle” or “making a loop”.

The initial prototype for this game was made by Keita and his friend Vikram, who are from these two cultures respectively, and this new word acknowledges one of the game’s core inspirations: making connections between different types of things,” the developer Keita Takahashi from Funomena said.
